Your NXT LVL Starts Here!

Apply for NXTLX Batch 7

Applications open: 22 September – 26 October 2026

Berlin's 10-week accelerator for impact-driven founders.

If you have an idea you believe in, and you're ready to get serious about it, this is the right place.

NXTLX is a structured, hands-on program that gives early-stage founders the clarity, accountability and community they need to move from idea to traction. In 10 weeks, you'll work through real milestones, get honest coaching, and build alongside a cohort of founders who are here for the same reasons you are. Solo founders and teams are equally welcome, we assess the idea and the people behind it, not the number of people on the team.

We're looking for founders who:

  • Have an idea with a social or community-oriented purpose
  • Are at the early stage, idea, validation, or early MVP (not deep-tech scale-ups)
  • Are ready to be challenged, coached, and to show up consistently
  • Want to be part of a community, not just a program

Questions before applying? Join our Info/Q&A session on Tuesday, 20 October, 14:00–15:00 (Europe/Berlin) — Google Meet link.
